Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Wouldn't he gove the money to the police instead of donating it immediately? Aso since when self defence is immoral?

You got me? Also, self defense has always been portrayed as wrong if one kills in Hollywood. Just see any capeshit. I guess that is the point, that Flanders may have to break his kill rule or whatever. I think it is just a dumb plot with usual Hollywood morality.

For some reason a lot of western writers have this very stupidly strict morality--or at least see characters like Flanders as having such.

Not even just writers. I've seen people say that Goku from DBZ is either an anti-hero or a villain because a lot of his enemies end up dead. Like how retarded can you get?

This looks too close to the movie that I would rather watch that instead. Scott Pilgrim wasn't the worst movie but it never had any replay value in my opinion. Basically it's the nerdy nice guy and the hipster on Tumblr had a baby the movie.

The movie was fun but the comics had a lot more depth since the entire point was Scott Pilgrim stopped being a loser manchild, a point the movie kinda botches.

That said, I did always like the idea that self respect is more important than love.

What did yall think of digital circus

Didn't like it myself. The animation's not bad, and character designs are interesting enough, but it just wasn't funny at all and the characters got annoying quickly. Maybe it's just personal taste though? People seemed to enjoy it, but I found it hard to finish. Anyway, if it continues, it will probably spawn one of the worst fandoms to ever exist, I just know it...

Anyone watched the video and know what it's about? I remember watching the youtuber but his opinions turned to even more shit and his voice turned exponentially more faggy

This makes me wonder how Flanders would have been if he was updated to our time in a non malicious way, probably way more gun happy but still non violent.

They'll probably use Flanders as more of a character similar to either William Foster or Anton Chigurh in terms of trying to fit in with today's PC society, but I doubt that's ever going to happen

I don’t know, I liked Johnny Test as a kid. The military with the general and the agents were the best part.

If it will be the current writers he'll either be the insanely cucked Christian who trannifies their children, or a massive strawmen hypocrite.

I understand you, actually I hated Cars for a looong time, for me it was a very stupid worldbuilding, but honestly, after Toy Story 4, The Incredibles 2, etc. Cars is not that bad, at least it shows you good character development and a real problematic, like you said, about how the highways destroyed the American little towns

Just don´t watch Cars 2 and 3, believe me

Agree. The worldbuilding was weird. I feel like if I was a small child, I would have had nightmares about the combine harvester scene because it was so uncanny. It's kinda like how the thing I hate the most about Ratatouille is the rats taking over the kitchen at the climax of the film. I wanted to know more about the kitchen crew instead of uninteresting rats. Something always feels half-baked in Pixar (and other modern Disney) productions.

I love Ratatouille, but even I admit that the ending was too rushed and the decision of rats taking full-blown ownership of Gusteau starting with the kitchen felt a bit weak, and the movie's troubled production does show. The end product could've been perfect, but it ran into some shortcomings behind the scenes, like how Brad Bird taking over directing and the original director had to quit due to this, and that Disney needed to buy Pixar (which they eventually did on February 2006), etc.

I mean they already turn Flanders into a Christian strawman anyway. That's why Flanderization exists.

No joke that movie made me wanna be a chef someday...back when I still belived that sort of thing was possible for a schmuck like me. Before I realized the reality of working in a kitchen and how demanding it can be. Now I'm stuck as a plongeur like linguine, with no rat tugging on my hair to make me one of the real chefs.

imagine thinking a dork like Goku who dies saving people all the time is the bad guy when his fighting tiny space hitlers, man eating bugbro, a mass murdering gumball and slaver monkey men lol. The brain rot in western media is really weird and I can’t understand it.

Captain Planet? It was definitely a late 80's/90's thing.

Possibly with the comics code. That forbid all but the most unchallenging stories and was basically just a move by DC and Archie to try and monopolize the market.

Ninja edit: Shit, maybe we could even go back to the Hays Code.

Probably even earlier than that. Human history has always had weird periods where people get on a moral high horse about something, with catastrophic results. Look at the Salem Witch Trials.

I know libtards would blame religion as if atheists don't do the exact same thing.

In the case of the Goku example though, a lot of the people I heard those takes from were capeshit fans and I know for a fact capeshit fans have some very peculiar ideas about morality. Like the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing--I've seen capeshit fans actually get genuinely upset when a character with any sort of superpower is treated as having a little bit of fun rather than having some autistic need to crusade.

I've always had a problem with that attitude, as its basically saying that if some fluke of fate gives you a power or ability that could be useful in stopping crime, you are therefore morally obligated to do so--personal desire be damned. Like just... that doesn't sound like "good" morality to me, that sounds like basically telling people they have no choice about how to live their life.

You make a valid point, people today hate being challenged. Every time there’s something a challenge, these people either run away or try to destroy it.

What’s the Hays Code?

 

[skykiii]

What’s the Hays Code?

The full details are complicated, but it was a set of standards similar to the Comics Code, just for movies instead of comic books, and it came about decades earlier.
